Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

so how about 3 goals against in 3 games...they have my attention.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

From Coach Daniels, in last night's game story, regarding Chupp's CFB:

I don’t know where that came from,” said Daniels. “He [Chupp] just took a run at a guy. You’re not going to win too many hockey games taking those kinds of penalties.

If you're serious about fixing this, put some of these guys in a suit instead of a sweater for a game if they're going to do things like that. Put some action behind your words. And if it continues, pull his "C". You get exactly what you tolerate.

Oh, and by the way, this announcer did a better job than anything I heard out of Mr. Beckwith the past few years. However, it's probably not a good idea to say that "that sucks" when talking about something on the air. :D You know there's some old bitty woman that's going to have a fit over that up in Big Rapids, and she's sure to let the program director know about it.

I heard he announced juniors or something before. I believe he's a freshman at Ferris and I want to say his brother is on the team, so he should know hockey.

Go Dawgs!

Is there anyway to listen to WWBR online without paying? FSU is only providing away audio broadcasts! The torture I go through to follow this team.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

It's my understanding that the answer is no.

At least the B2 feed appears to be in order tonight.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

A 6-1 win gives us the (expected) sweep. Couple of things.

4 games. 4 goals allowed. Very nice job on the defensive side of things.

However, now 5 CFB's in 4 games. The announcing crew was whining about this one (Wietecha's today) when it was called, but as soon as I saw it happen and before the whistle blew, the first thing in my head was "Uh-oh, that's 5 and a game". The NCAA has been cracking down on this for 5 years, and it's squarely in the rule book. If you hit a guy from behind into the boards, especially from a foot or two from the boards, you're getting 5 and an immediate trip to the locker room. It's cut and dried. The referee's only discretion is whether it's a misconduct or a DQ. And it's got to stop. This is the discipline I've been yammering about for years.

A 3-1 record against Canisius and UConn are NOT getting us ranked. I don't even think a sweep of Robert Morris would do the trick, either. Besides, the rankings don't mean squat. You deal with the PWR after the first of the year and go from there.

Very happy with the weekend series, especially with 4-5 forwards out sick.

Absolutely right! His name is Dominic Hennig and his brother Nate (#21) is a junior LW for Ferris. Dom also attends Ferris. He has a web site (cchaarenaguide.com) that has his bio. He does know the game, and is fun to listen to!!

Ferris is leading the nation in PIM and they aren't even messing around with the competition. 34 minutes/game leads #2 Ohio State which has 28 minutes/game. The bright spot is the whole 22 for 23 on the PK. I've got my Just For Men ready...I'll need it after this season.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Well, 43 PIM came after the final whistle in the 2nd game against Canisius, and 28 of those were offsetting. That's still keeping the averages abnormally high, even for this team. What really concerns me are the 4 majors we've taken for Checking From Behind, in only 4 games. Those absolutely have to stop, immediately if not sooner.

You should hear this kid call a game, it is fun to listen to. He makes it interesting and makes you WANT to listen to the game instead of actually go to the game!

I believe he just turned 18 last weekend, said Coach Daniels in an interview over the radio. I'm telling you, this kid might be leaving early just like players do for the nhl, haha he might be the first radio guy to leave early!


Hey guys, since we're all Ferris State Hockey Fans here, I'm sure we have tithes with the team in some way or another. What do you think about introducing ourselves?

My name is Matt Attord, I am a Big Rapids, Michigan native and lived here (Big Rapids) my entire life. At 43 years of age, I've been following Bulldog hockey for the past 5 years, and LOVE everything about it. Any other questions, let me know.

You don't get my info unless you meet me in person.

As for the play-by-play, the kid's fine. The only thing I'd really change is the goal call, where he screams for about 14 seconds. It's out of place, sounds contrived, and is flat out horrid. Rule of thumb: if it sounds like something you see in soccer, it's a good idea to swap it out and come up with something else.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

I don't mind it. It brings excitement and energy to the broadcast.

But all in all, I'm happy with him being the new radio guy for Ferris State.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

The penalty kills have helped the team ,but the amount of PPs given up will decide alot of games in the CCHA regular season.

Nice to see the scoring spread out and the play of the freshman has been good so far.

Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé.... Olé.... Olé.



I'd shoot myself before I ever watched a game in Mankato.

Unfortunately (well not unfortunately, I love watching any college hockey game even if neither of the teams is my team, but I digress) I had to watch them play hapless Bowling Green last Saturday night and 4 "Ole, Ole Ole Ole, Ole, Ole" chants was more than enough to convince me I was at a soccer game. Bowling Green looks like garbage, btw. That's saying a lot considering Mankato isn't that good either. Anyways, good luck to Ferris State this year. Looks like they're off to a solid start.

I tend to agree. This team historically has had a hard enough time scoring goals as it is. It's even harder when you spend as much time as we do in the penalty box. That's why I harp on it so much. These CFB's, and the 5:00 that goes up on the board with them, are going to kill them if it continues. They're going to run into teams that will put 2-3 goals in the net on one of these majors if this doesn't stop.

That, and this team has to get healthy. We ran with 11 forwards this past weekend.

Yeah, despite some optimism from some of the BG fans here, I tend to think that the cupboard is pretty bare, at least in the upper classes, and they're going to be in for a long season. It's going to take a couple years to turn that boat around, if they can. They could make that arena a real pit for opposing teams to come into (and I mean that as a compliment). I was down there last spring for Ferris-BG. There were only about 1500 in there, and that place got loud at times. If they can get that place fixed up so that it doesn't look like a middle school cafeteria from the 1980's, they might be on to something. We'll see.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

It seems like Robert Morris has a pretty solid scoring attack, the majority of which comes from the Urban/Longpre line. They dropped 2 on Alaska which is most they've given up in one game this young season. On the flip side, Robert Morris can give up goals. So I say the stronger defense will win - but then again we could say that every weekend.
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

To me it is very simple.Stay out of the box,solid defence in our own end and moving the puck around to let our snipers get the chance to score.Outwork the other team and convert our scoring chances into goals. Sounds easy enough but executing will be the key
 
Re: Ferris State Hockey 2009-10 - 2 minutes for slashing

Friday: Robert Morris 4 at Ferris State 5 ot
Saturday: Robert Morris 1 at Ferris State 4

A sweep this weekend, including an overtime win. Ferris just might end up having a hockey team thats good enough to taunt this year. Maybe. ;)
